Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Mon. August 10th, 2026

We are approaching the middle of August, and that means farmers markets are peddling their harvests in full force. Based on what we’ve been hearing so far, a lot of people are buying directly from Ottawa’s farmers. However, amid trade war tensions with our American counterparts, the supply chains are becoming less reliable. How much Ontario produce are you buying these days? Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day.
